about

For my granny.

lyrics

lived and breathed, ran round the trees, and back then these buildings were the fields
and your great grandad, he fought a war, when there was somethin to be fighting for
fell in love, we said our vows, and had a country house with hens and cows
mother to your mother - warmed our hearts soon she'll be deaf like me


mind in the winters, bare were all the trees, but the harth saved us from being cold


you get taller everyday, feels like you were born just yesterday
remember your granda? rest his soul, you said you wanted to be him when you get old
now come to see me and stay a while, cause' i get lonely from time to time
sure i'll make your bed, cause' having you around, is worth more to me than a million pounds


sure the house is quiet, and i'm scared at night, but i know i know im not alone


i'm getting older everyday, this room seems fine am i here to stay
change my night dress baby blue, there's nothing more the nurse can do
im growing tired and my children cry, the hours have started flying by
and my love he's holding out his hand, says come with me, iv been a patient man



so take me to the place we read about, i know i know i'm goin home
